Atlético Nacional today: would sign Michael Rangel if Alexandre Guimarães is appointed as coach | Colombian soccer transfer market latest news | Colombian Soccer | Betplay League

With the passing of the hours, the ties between Atlético Nacional and Alexandre Guimarães seem to tighten and the parties would be getting closer for the Brazilian -nationalized Costa Rican- to accept being the new purslane coach for 2021. The talks, according to the same coach, have advanced and are cordial; However, the DT is patient and respectful, as the Antioquia club is in competition in the BetPlay League and is fighting for the title.

However, there would be details that have already begun to be discussed between Guimarães and the National leadership, led by Juan David Pérez. And beyond the salary or the conditions that may link him to the club, the coach is concerned about putting together a competitive squad for next season and being able to fight for big things, because his name is at stake in one of the great teams in the country.

Thus, a journalistic version emerged that Guimarães had already asked for a first great signing to be able to work with confidence and reinforce one of the important areas in the Antioquia green: the attack. The DT would have requested the hiring of an old acquaintance, both for the coach and for the team, to build the squad in his style.

It is about Michael Rangel, who is currently a substitute in Junior de Barranquilla, but who was champion with América de Cali in 2019, when Guimarães was in the technical direction. The operation would not be as complicated as it seems, since Junior would facilitate his departure, at a good price, and because Nacional still retains a percentage of his sports rights.

The journalist Jonathan Masmela was one of those who made the version run, and also mentioned that in the purslane folder would be the right back Marlon Piedrahita (35 years old), also from Junior; and Marco Pérez (30), an attacker who recently dissociated himself from Al-Raed, an Arab team.
